Energy-efficient aquarium propeller pump boasts German engineering

Form, function and German-engineering come together to deliver superior flow patterns. Tunze Turbelle Nanostream Water Circulation Pumps boast wide stream propeller technology that generates beneficial water flow that reaches further into aquariums. Energy-efficient circulation pumps are powered by an innovative synchronous motor for low heat generation and reliable performance while using very little power. 3D adjustable design allows flexible positioning for vital water flow directed where it is needed most to ensure healthy reef aquarium systems.

Tunze Turbelle Nanostream Water Circulation Pumps boast very silent operation and include a Magnet Holder for secure aquarium placement. Models 6025 and 6045 include Silence Clamp, silicone vibration dampers for exceptional noise and vibration control. Model 6045 features a Flow Control for manual adjustment of water flow. Image shown is the 6045, other two sizes do not include Flow Control.

Turbelle Propeller Technology
Many years of research with the Turbelle propeller pump have led to important results in the field of flow direction and turbulence reduction. Modern CAD and measuring methods, as well as practical experience show that Tunze pumps produce superior flow patterns compared to pumps from other manufacturers. The current has a bundled direction, thus reaching further into the aquarium, at very low power consumption.

What is it that makes the Turbelle propeller pump so special?

Very silent operation - Special synthetic bearings and a special Silence Clamp enable very silent operation without wear.

Flexible 3D adjustment - Unlike other pumps, the Turbelle provides important flexibility regarding positioning and direction of the water jet. The water jet can be directed in such a way that a long distance in the aquarium is covered, producing an efficient current at low power consumption.

Large intake surface - The big intake strainer prevents early soiling and protects the animals against being sucked in.

Eco-energetic - High-performance motors with eco-energetic concept offer very high efficiency at very low maintenance requirements and power consumption.

An important component of a natural environment is water movement. Corals and invertebrates need irregular currents for both feeding and waste removal. Wavemakers have been developed to meet this need by imitating ocean currents in the aquarium.

A crucial - and often overlooked - aspect of keeping a reef aquarium is water movement. Proper water movement goes a long way toward helping a reef system thrive. Corals and other reef inhabitants are accustomed to rapid, constant water movement.

Water current is essential to nourish and feed your aquarium's inhabitants, as well as clean and regulate your aquarium's water. In addition, poor water movement hinders biological filtration, which in turn, raises toxins to dangerous levels.

Don't take the quality of your tap water for granted. If you draw your water from a well, nature may not be providing you the perfect balance. If you are using tap water from your municipal department, it likely includes minerals and additives.

Please note: Return of electrical equipment to Drs. Foster & Smith for exchange or refund is limited to 60 days from the date of purchase. Beyond 60 days, please contact the manufacturer for repair or replacement as covered by the manufacturer's warranty.

Very, Very Quiet
Really like the 3D adjustability, very easy to point it exactly where you want it. Be careful not to lose the silicone bumpers or you can have some vibration of the magnets on the glass.

good quality pumps
I bought the 6015 for a 20 long aquarium,i paired it with a 6055 and have then opposite each side of the tank (6055 is set to wavebox mode on controller) i was worried it would not be enough flow from the 6015 but it is perfect for the tank.very sturdy for the price,and creates a good flow.I have never had any problems with my Tunze pumps,and have always seen good reviews from people on these brands.

AMAZING
I bought this pump for my 75 gallon reef and I love it just soak it in vinegar water if it gets dirty and it works like new other than that the pump is amazing

No, this pump should not be used with any Wavemaker timer and doing so will dramatically shorten the life of the pump (the impeller) and also void the warranty. Tunze does offer controllable pumps (such as the 6055 and 6095) which can be used on a Wavemaker timer but these are electronically very different and considerably more expensive. The simple explanation is that all powerheads which run on AC power will not work well with repeated on/off switching. Since AC power 'alternates' there's a 50/50 chance the impeller will spin in the correct direction each time it starts. When it starts spinning in the wrong direction, then the impeller collides with stop tabs which stops the spinning, allowing it to start again, hopefully going in the correct direction. This is simply a function of AC electricity, and all pumps which run on AC power have this limitation. For truly controllable pumps which can be run on Wavemakers and other controllers, a DC pump is the way to go.

Thank you for your question. The 6015 is for tanks 10-55 gallons, the 6025 is also for tanks 10-55 gallons but has higher wattage and gph, and the 6045 is for tanks 10-135 gallons and has flow control. If you have an aquarium larger than 135 gallons you might need two.
